Political Factoid
Most Republicans oppose
raising the minimum wage
and think* people earning
minimum wage:
- are teenagers
- work part time after school
- live with their parents
- and are working to earn
extra spending money.
While Democrats are more
likely to accept the facts
that people earning the
minimum wage:
- average age is 35 years
- only 10 percent are teenagers
- 37% are 40 years or older
- 56% are women
- 28% have children
- 57% work full time
- on average, earn more
than half of the family's
total income.
